The Holy One Transcends

Dec 16, 2018    Pastor Allen Coleman    Advent 2018

What is Jesus worth to you? On the surface, this is a simple question, but a thorough approach to its answer requires us to take stock of all we hold dear in this life. Whatever we hold as our highest value will influence and affect how we navigate our life. This portion of Isaiah 40 reminds us that nothing in this life can be compared to Christ: he is more significant, he is ultimately sufficient, and he is transcendent from all of the glories and delights of this world. It would do us well, as the people of God, to remember his great worth and love towards us; to let the idols die and to approach him boldly, letting his worth fill and fuel our joy, our service, and our love for others.
